Students, I have the example of narrative text. Please
read the text carefully.
Once upon a time, there was once a guy named Romney who was very much in
love with this girl, Julia. This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes
as a gift to his girl. Although, at that time he was just a small executive in
his company, his future doesn't seem too bright,they were very happy together.
Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come
back. She also told him that she cannot visualise any future for the both of
them, so let's go their own ways there and then heartbroken, the guy agreed.
When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, just to make
something out of himself. Finally with all these hard work and with the help of
friends, this guy had set up his own company.
"You never fail until you stop trying." he always told himself.
"I must make it in life!"One rainy day, while this guy was driving,
he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some
destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take
him long to realise those were his ex-girlfriend's parents. With a heart in getting
back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in
his luxury saloon. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same anymore, he
had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had made it in life!
Before the guy can realise, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and
he got out of his car and followed them and he saw his exgirlfriend, a
photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw
his precious paper cranes in a bottle placed beside her tomb. Her parents
saw him. He walked over and asked them why this had happened. They explained
that she did not leave for France at all. She was stricken ill with cancer. In
her heart, she had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want
her illness to be his obstacle therefore she had chosen to leave him.
She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if
the day comes when fate brings him to her again he can take some of those back
with him. The guy just wept.
